How to make 🐙 Cthulhu — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Water + Water = LakeBoth Water and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Lake first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Earth + Lake = SwampSwamp is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Fire + Swamp = DragonIf you already made Dragon in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Dragon + Water = Sea SerpentOne quick craft for Sea Serpent: drag Dragon onto Water and keep the result for the chain.
- Earth + Sea Serpent = LeviathanLeviathan is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Earth + Wind = DustDust is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Dust + Earth = PlanetIf you already made Planet in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Earth + Planet = MoonOne quick craft for Moon: drag Earth onto Planet and keep the result for the chain.
- Leviathan + Moon = CthulhuFinal craft: combine Leviathan and Moon to make Cthulhu. That's the whole path — 9 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Cthulhu
We rank every known recipe for Cthulhu by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Leviathan and Moon — cost 6 and 4 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 9 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Cthulhu

|---|---|
| Anemone + Volcano | 10 crafts |
| Ash + Octopus | 9 crafts |
| Dandelion + Octopus | 9 crafts |
| Dune + Squid | 8 crafts |
| Eclipse + Leviathan | 7 crafts |

Tips for crafting Cthulhu
- Craft in one sitting. The 9-craft chain for Cthulhu takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Swamp) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Anemone + Volcano also produces Cthulhu if that route fits your inventory better.
